*3: Do not mix automatic transmission fluid and gear oil.
*4: Never use API CG-4.
*5: Use Genuine Nissan Anti-freeze Coolant (L250) or equivalent in its quality, in order to avoid possible aluminum corrosion within
the engine cooling system caused by the use of non-genuine engine coolant.
Note that any repairs for the incidents within the engine cooling system while using non-genuine engine coolant may
not be covered by the warranty even if such incidents occurred during the warranty period.

[approximately 20ÉC (68ÉF)].
Adjusting Intake and Exhaust Valve Clearance
Adjustment should be made while engine is warm but not
running.
1. Set No. 1 cylinder in top dead center on its compression stroke, and adjust valve clearance q
1,q2,q3and q6.
2. Set No. 4 cylinder in top dead center on its compression stroke, and adjust valve clearance q

Drive Belt Inspection
1. Inspect for cracks, fraying, wear or oil adhesion. Replace if
necessary.
The belts should not touch the bottom of the pulley groove.
2. Check drive belt deflection by pushing on the belt midway between pulleys. (H)
3. Adjust if belt deflections exceed the limit.

Changing Brake Fluid
1. Drain brake fluid from each air bleeder valve.
2. Refill until new brake fluid comes out from each air bleedervalve. Use same procedure as in bleeding hydraulic system to
refill brake fluid.
Refer to section BR.
I Refill with recommended brake fluid ªDOT 4º.
I Never reuse drained brake fluid.
I Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.
Balancing Wheels
Adjust wheel balance using the road wheel center.

Checking Fluid Level and Leaks (Power
steering)
Check fluid level.
Fluid level can be checked when the fluid is either hot or cold.
CAUTION:
IDo not overfill.
I Recommended fluid is Automatic Transmission Fluid
ªDEXRON
TMº type.
I Check lines for improper attachment, leaks, cracks, damage,
loose connections, chafing and deterioration.
Greasing Steering Linkage
Apply multi-purpose grease to point shown in the illustration.
Ventilation Air Filter
FUNCTION
Air inside passenger compartment is kept clean at either recircula-
tion or fresh mode by installing ventilation air filter into cooling unit.

2. Move the following parts.
ITDC sensor harness
I Power steering oil pump
3. Remove the chain cover.
I Remove the holding bolts A to C shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
While the chain cover is removed, be careful not to allow entry
of dust or foreign objects.
4. Set the No. 1 cylinder to the TDC.
1) Turn the crankshaft pulley clockwise, and match the timing indicator of the gear case to the timing mark of the crankshaft
pulley.
2) Make sure that the cam sprocket match mark is in the position shown in the figure.
I If the match mark is not in position, turn the crankshaft pulley
once more and position it.
I When removing at No. 1 cylinder TDC, each sprocket and chain
is fitted using the match mark, therefore there is no need to
apply any match marks beforehand.
5. Remove the chain tensioner.
1) Loosen upper and lower holding bolts.
2) Holding the chain tensioner in your hand, remove the upper holding bolt and release the spring tension.
3) Remove the lower holding bolt, then remove the chain ten- sioner.
I The chain tensioner does not have a mechanism which pre-
vents the ejection of the plunger. (It does have a mechanism
which prevents the plunger from returning.)
CAUTION:
Be careful not to drop the plunger and spring.
